2Third row seat (Seating 7 passengers)
N00419500063
The third row seat can be used for two additional passengers.
When the third row seat is not in use, it can be stowed under
the floor to provide more cargo area.
WA R N I N G
!
The third row seats are intended for use by no more
than two belted occupants, each of which does not
exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height.
Exceeding these limitations can result in an
increased risk of personal injury or death in the
event of an accident.
The third row seats are not intended for use by
infants and small children who must use rear facing
or forward facing child safety seats.
Third row seat operation should always be made
before driving. Operating the seat while driving
could cause the seat to move more than necessary
and result in a serious injury or death.
Before using, check that the third row seat is firmly
secured. If not secured, the third row seat could
move and cause a serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.
The third row seat should not be used when the sec-
ond row seats are folded forward. Third row seat
passengers can suffer a serious or fatal injury if the
second row seats fell backward in a collision or when
heavy breaking is applied.

When using the third row seat, always position and
lock the head restraints on top of the seat back.
See the steps 6 and 7 of the procedure for folding out
the third seat.
For vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover,
when the third row seat is in use, always remove the
cargo area cover to avoid serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Refer to “Cargo area cover”, page 3-287.
CAUTION
!
The third row seat should be adjusted only by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur.
When adjusting the third row seat, keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts and the space
below the seat.
Be careful not to touch the exhaust pipe, because it
will remain hot for some time after the engine is
stopped.

Head restraints
N00404300568
Head restraints can reduce the risk of a whiplash injury if your
vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illustrated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of the head restraints for the
front and second row seats, adjust the seatback to the upright
position, and the head restraint to the proper position. Sit back
against the seatback with your head close to the head restraint.*: Seating 7 passengers

2 Making a cargo area
N00405500091
CAUTION
!
The shape and size of the head restraint differs
according to the seat. Always use the correct head
restraint provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.
WA R N I N G
!
Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when
the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats could
move more than necessary or move suddenly and
cause a serious accident.
After folding up a seat or returning a seat back to its
normal position, make sure that the seat is firmly
secured. If the seat is not secured, it could move and
cause a serious accident.
Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while
the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properly
seated and restrained can be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
The front passenger seat is equipped with weight
sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front
passenger airbag is disabled or enabled. When fold-
ing the second row seats forward for increased cargo
capacity, the front passenger seat and seat back
must be adjusted to assure they are not contacting
the second row seat. In the event the front seat or
seatback is allowed to contact the folded second row
seat, proper operation of the front passenger airbag
system may be affected.
